marshalled his hosts –<br />
of Jinns <strong>and</strong> men <strong>and</strong> birds,<br />
<strong>and</strong> they were all kept<br />
in <strong>or</strong>der <strong>and</strong> ranks.<br />
“At length, when they came<br />
to a (lowly) valley of ants,<br />
one of the ants said :<br />
‘O ye ants, get into<br />
your habitations,<br />
lest Solomon <strong>and</strong> his hosts<br />
crush you (under foot)<br />
without knowing it.’”<br />
